I am on the lookout for a small chunk of land in the bush out of town. When I buy it, my plan is to set up an aquaponics greenhouse that can feed myself and the main squeeze into our old age, so we can spend more of our retirement savings on hookers and blow.
Aquaponics has a very high yield per acre of fruit, vegetables, and protein, requires very little water to maintain, and once established, not a whole lot of monitoring.

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
Have you considered adding an aquaculture element to this, mongo? I've been told that the two practices are quite symbiotic since the fish add CO2, nitrogen, phosphorous and ammonia while the plants add O2 to the water.
That's what aquaponics is, aquaculture + hydroponics. In a well balanced system, you just need to keep an eye on some trace elements, you can even grow plants like duckweed in the same system to feed the fish.
I was all set to start playing around with some small scale stuff when i was in the USA, had some good sized aquariums ready to go, but then we moved. Now I'm slowly rebuilding my workshop and projects from scratch.
